I really fancy Asiatic Boy for this. The Sussex should have put him spot on for this, and York is a nice left handed flat track, which should suit him.

He will surely start shorter than 8/1 if he turns up, Brockguy. Don't you think??

If the top 3 show up, he might start at higher. Authorized will get a lot of cash again and depending on ground, George or Notnow will so as well. He could be the forgotten horse in the race..

It's going to be very fast ground up there. I can't imagine they will run Authorized. He came back from the Derby "stiff and sore" on good ground, i could be wrong, but his action suggests he might not let himself down on quick ground.

Authorized jumping out of skin according to trainer.. Id love to see how he gets on if it is truly fast ground.. from the racingpost...
DERBY winner Authorized continued his preparation for next week's Juddmonte International at York with a workout on Newmarket's Al Bahathri gallops.

Peter Chapple-Hyam's charge, who was turned over by Notnowcato in the Coral-Eclipse on his latest start, covered 7½f with his regular work companion Striving Storm.

The Montjeu colt was partnered by Adrian McCarthy but Chapple-Hyam has revealed big-race pilot Frankie Dettori will be down to ride Authorized in his final gallop before York at the end of the week.

"That was a real good blow-out and he will be ready by next Tuesday," said the St Gatien handler.

"I will work him once more - towards the end of the week - before the race at York. Frankie Dettori will come in and give him a pipe-opener.

"I'm happy with the horse - he is just about where I want him to be," he told www.peterchapplehyam.co.uk.

Authorized is currently 7-4 favourite with Coral for the Juddmonte International next Tuesday.

If the ground is fast, i seriously believe Asiatic Boy will win (even with Spencer). The track should suit him, his run in the Sussex was pretty good considering he just didn't look fit enough, I'd say 10 furlongs would probably be a better trip for him (as long as he settles early).

As long as Spencer can get him switched off early on, i think there is every chance we could see a breath taking display from him.

The same comments could be applied to George Washington as well..
